§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
The parent bill is a broad budget plan for the federal government. This amendment adds a specific placeholder that allows Congress to increase funding for child care in the future, provided that the new spending is paid for and does not increase the national debt.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
2POINT 01
Creates a deficit-neutral reserve fund for child care
It establishes a procedural pathway for lawmakers to pass child care legislation later without violating certain budget rules.
POINT 02
Requires all new spending to be offset
This ensures that any increase in child care funding must be balanced by spending cuts elsewhere or increases in revenue so it does not add to the deficit.
